Overview
Not a built-in model, this countertop microwave uses a humidity sensor and auto menus to set cook times by itself. Express cook buttons, a defrost function, soften and melt, an eco mode and a bright LED display fill out the controls.
Households that heat many different foods get sensor cooking and a large cavity in one cabinet. It is heavy and wide, so the counter space and outlet need checking before it arrives.
Who it's for
Busy households that want a sensor to handle timing, plus quick keypad shortcuts, get steady use from it. Singles in tiny kitchens, or anyone wanting convection, are better off with another type.
Pros and cons
- Smart sensor with auto menus
- Removable turntable with position memory
- Sound on and off option
- Eco energy saving mode
- Heavy for a countertop appliance
- Keypad film needs peeling on arrival
Performance notes
A humidity sensor reads steam from the food and adjusts the cook time, which helps with reheating plates and vegetables. Position memory returns the turntable to its start spot, so tall or odd shaped dishes do not clip the walls.
